Vedanta Desikan Swamin: 180. prApthOdayA thadhAnIm kimapi thamasthannirAkarOdh BhavathI thanuriva manukulajanuShAm prasavithrI rathnapAdhukE! savithu: Oh Paaduka! Your rise removed the darkenss. You were virtually the sun-rise for the prosperity of the Manu race. Namo Narayana, SriMuralidhara Dasan *********************************************************************** **** Special Notes By V.Sadagopan (V.S): (1) Sri UtthamUr Swamy's anubhavam: Here , Swamy Desikan points out that SooryA Himself appeared as PaadhukAs and the descendants of Soorya Vamsam served as the ministers of the Paadhukais and thereby ruled the kingdom. He says: " Oh gem-bedecked PaadhukE ! You rose as SooryA in the Manu vamsam (SaavithrI) and removed the darkness as GayathrI . Thou art indeed SaavithrI and GayathrI for the lineage of Manu. With Your rising (acceptance of the duties of the kingdom ), the citizens of KosalA kingdom got blessed with unimaginable wealth and the lawlessness was totally eliminated. (2) Srimath Andavan's anubhavam: Oh PaadhukE ! When RaamA went to the forest to fulfill the vow that He made to His father, You accepted the responsibilities to rule the kingdom and thus removed the deep sorrows of the citizens , just as the rising Sun banishes the darkness of the night .The inner meaning is that the darsana soubhAgyam of SadAchAryAs banishes one's aj~nAnam and viparItha J~nAnam , just as Sunrise chases away the darkness of the night . (3) In this last of the fourty slOkams of the sixth paddhathi ( AdhikAra Parigraha Paddhathi ), Swami Desikan salutes the Paadhukai as the veritable Sun sitting on the throne of the Manu Vamsam kings (Savithu: tanuriva kimapi). He states that the Paadhukais chased away the sorrows (dark moods) of the citizens of the Kosalaa kingdom like the rising sun removing the darkness of the night ( tath tama: nirAkarOth)...V.S KavitArkika SimhAsya , Sarvatanthra-Svathanthrasya , Srimath VenkatanAthasya Srimath VedAnthAchAryasya kruthishu Sri RanganAtha PaadhukA SahasrE AdhikAra Parigraha Paddhathi sampUrNam
